FACE CONTOURING WITHOUT SURGERY

New product effective on all skin type and colors

Philadelphia, PA.  July 30, 2006---The US Food and Drug Administration approved a new cutting edge product, Juvederm, which experts are calling the “next generation” of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.  Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers represent the fastest growing non-invasive aesthetic procedure in the United States.  Experts say that Juvederm lasts longer, is less painful to inject, achieves better results and can be used to contour the face.  Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Dr. Timothy Greco, “I am excited about the possibilities of Juvederm.  Juvederm comes in three formulas providing flexibility to physicians and giving them the ability to tailor treatment to the needs of their patients”. The gel works to take away fine lines and wrinkles, smooth out the nasolabial folds (the folds running from the sides of the bottom of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth) and contour the face.   Dr. Greco, a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, will be one of the first in our area to have access to and be able to dispense Juvederm.

Juvederm contains the highest concentration of non-animal and cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any dermal filler currently available.  This provides optimal results with a single treatment and lasts up to nine months without requiring a touch-up.  Juvederm is a natural, biodegradable and the only approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in patients of all skin types and ethnicities. 

Juvederm was developed using a technologically advanced process that produces a malleable gel that flows easily into the skin, creating a natural look.  All other currently approved hyaluronic acids use a gel particle suspension formulation. Many plastic surgeons feel that the consistency of Juvederm may also help to minimize the discomfort that can sometimes occur.

The FDA’s approval was based on double blind, random and controlled clinical trials. 
According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons Botox has been the number one physician administered non-surgical cosmetic procedure since 2002.  Dr Greco, nationally recognized as an expert on Botox and other dermal fillers says” I frequently use combinations of Botox and fillers to achieve a natural fresh look, and this will be another tool in the arsenal”.  Occurring naturally in the body, hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar found in all living organisms, and helps create volume and elasticity in the skin.  Hyaluronic acid treats multiple medical conditions, including those associated with the eye and the knee and has been used for more than twenty years.
